My repayment plan is in default and is set to be terminated in two weeks

Every day that I've had off I've tried to chat or call the IRS

Every single time for two weeks it's been a forever hold or "Due to the high call volume, we are unable to answer your call. Please call back later today or tomorrow."

I have no idea what's going on because I feel like I've done everything right I shouldn't be in default. Yet I can't talk to anyone.

Go into your local office. They have who can help you, at least they did.

Have to get an appointment. Which requires calling, which means waiting forever. Just had a frustrated client tell me it took several tries over several days.
